The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay pathway for hoarding support, sorting, organizing, and related assistance. Ask about service area, rates, scope, and consent before scheduling; no local availability is implied.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You deserve support that starts with your priorities, not a demand to clear everything at once. Whether you are directly affected, supporting someone else, or trying to solve a safety or housing concern, choose one next step that feels manageable.
Start here - Fight the Blight
For hoarding-related questions, Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door. For private-pay help, The Peer Tree offers a separate pathway. Unburied is digital peer support, not therapy or emergency support. Local care providers can explain their own services and access requirements.
Start here for a people-first conversation about hoarding-related support and virtual groups. You can ask about options for yourself, a loved one, or a community concern; confirm current access and fit before relying on a service.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual peer groups; geography: ask about Lincoln County or online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group access; emergency limit: not crisis dispatch or cleanup
For an immediate threat to life or safety, fire, or a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988; Lincoln County also lists a 24/7 mental-health crisis line at 866-266-0288. Crisis lines do not guarantee ongoing care, housing, or cleanup.

The county lists counseling, psychiatric and nursing services, case management, groups, and family programs. Newport clinic: 51 SW Lee St.; call for a screening and ask about current fit, access needs, and next steps.
Safety and stability
These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve crisis care, protective services, shelter, housing rules, legal advocacy, or emergency dispatch.
Call 911 for an immediate threat to life or safety, a fire, or a life-threatening medical emergency. Do not wait for an online referral when urgent response is needed.

Lincoln County publishes this number for 24/7 mental-health crisis counseling. A crisis call is not a guarantee of ongoing treatment, home cleanup, shelter, or a particular in-person response.
The Oregon Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence directory lists this provider for Lincoln County and reports hotline, confidential advocacy, safety planning, legal advocacy, and emergency shelter. The directory cannot guarantee space or availability; this is a survivor-specific pathway, not general housing.
The county's Emergency Management page links current emergency information, evacuation zones, preparedness and Lincoln Alerts. Follow official instructions during an active hazard; use 911 for immediate emergency response.
People and practical help
These listings connect the local community with housing, food, behavioral health, benefits, transit, survivor advocacy, disability support, peer support, and practical resources. Ask about current availability, cost, scope, consent, and safety before relying on them.

The county summarizes permanent-housing programs and related referrals. Call to confirm which pathways are currently operating, how to apply, and whether the household and location qualify.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Newport, Oregon, and includes city, county, state, nonprofit, national, and independent pathways. A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. The Hoarding Alliance is not a city or county agency, therapy practice, emergency service, or cleanup company. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
